The notion that everything is energy or consciousness directly applies to human biology. The materialistic, “Era I” view of the body as a machine that may run on energy but is somehow distinguishable from it is fast giving way to undeniable evidence that we, too, at our most fundamental level, are manifestations of conscious energy. The holographic model ... views the ostensibly physical universe in terms of intersecting electromagnetic frequencies that, in effect, project the staggering illusions we think of as the world … and ourselves.

DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction insofar as we are all, each and every one of us, including yours truly, and including you (perhaps most of all), works of fiction. Beyond that, it is pure and absolute nonfiction; and though its “author” technically never existed, at least not in the dense, empirical, flesh-and-blood sense, the personages and events herein depicted are drawn straight from life, as it were. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual places, living or dead, while purely coincidental from the point of view of intention, should surprise no one.
